Course Content

The LLM in Policing, Crime and Security is a one year full-time and two year part-time master's programme offered by DCUs School of Law and Government.

We welcome applicants from Ireland, the EU and the wider world who are interested in both the theory and practice of policing; criminology, crime analysis and criminal procedure; and contemporary national, regional and global security issues.

The programme is the first of its kind in Ireland and will draw on the research expertise of staff within the School of Law and Government to create a vibrant, engaging and transformative learning experience for students.
